Installation of a Server Card requires hardware installation first, then software installation. The Server Card requires a universal bus PCI connection and enough room behind the connector to accommodate a full-length card.

Unpacking and Inspection

CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, the Server Card will not be affected by static charge as may be received through your body during handling of the unit. In special circumstances where you may carry an extraordinarily high static charge, it is good practice to reduce the charge by touching a ground before handling the adapter card.

Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all items. In addition to this User's Guide, ascertain that you have:

One Ethernet Adapter Server Card.

Server Card Software CD-ROM

Installing the Adapter

1.Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord, and remove the chassis cover.

2.Insert the contact edge of the Server Card into the connector of any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector and ascertain that the card’s contacts are fully seated in the connector.

3.Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the computer chassis.

4.Replace the computer’s chassis cover.

5.Connect all the cable in your group.
